One year ago, on July 31, 2013, Bob Dylan performed “All Along The Watchtower” and “Early Roman Kings” and other songs at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Greenwood Village, CO.
Here are clips of both of the previously mentioned songs.
Dylan’s vocal performances are quite good, and his band is superb as usual.

“Early Roman Kings”:

OK, so we know this day, 49 years ago, was historic. Bob Dylan going public with his new electric rock ‘n’ roll sound.
We all know the story. We all know the different versions of the story.
What remains amazing is the music.
On Saturday July 24, 1965 Dylan played a workshop and did three acoustic numbers. I’ve got “All I Really Want To Do” and “Love Minus Zero/ No Limit” from that workshop, and then all the songs from his evening performance on July 25, 1965.
Here Dylan rock out through “Maggie’s Farm,” “Like A Rolling Stone” and “Phantom Engineer,” an early version of “It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry.”
This music will be as alive as anyone until humans are no more.
“Phantom Engineer” (early version of “It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry”):
“Mr. Tambourine Man”:
“It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”:

Bob Dylan performed “House of the Rising Sun,” a song off his debut album that he didn’t write, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England on April 12, 2007.
It was a tribute of sorts to The Animals who had a huge hit with their electric version of the song and who came from Newcastle.
